Remembering Virginia Giuffre Daughter, Sister, Mother, Survivor, and Fierce Advocate

Today should have been Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s 42nd birthday.

Instead, her life was stolen by predators still shielded by power.

She fought for survivors until the day she died — now it’s our turn.

Read & share Bren’s moving tribute. Say her name.

Let’s be clear.

Disabled veteran. Citizen. Taken by Trump’s Gestapo. 🇺🇸

Cool, cool. While he was dancing there are dozens of missing people including children in a major natural disaster in Texas that he hasn’t said a word about. Party on.

Last week the Senate decided to move forward on the biggest liquidation of public lands in history.
Parts of 11 Western states could be put up for sale, all for trophy houses for the ultra-rich. Donate if you can. Lawsuits cost$$! act.biologicaldiversity.org/lwnmsVyQ1U64...

EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.

He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.

Don’t turn away.

I know everyone is loving the Musk schadenfreude but we have to stay on the alert for the possibility that Musk is going to turn his sights to those centrist dem conventions going on and further entrench transphobia and anti-immigrant sentiment.

And they would easily work with him.

#MemphisVsMusk

So @schiff.senate.gov , why don’t y’all address this?

All they both are, Trump and Musk, are grifters.

No, don’t get distracted by this. Musk has contracts, destroyed programs, funding, peoples lives, and took our data. Dump the popcorn and figure out what you are going to do.

Rep. David Kustoff voted to cut Veterans benefits. Those who fought for this country. Now he is having a private town hall. Why not answer to your constituents? #KustoffBrushoff We see you, Congressman.

Amazing how he didn’t know about it, Rubio said he knew nothing about it….

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

Did any govt leadership from either party show up to the air base when the deceased soldiers arrived home from Lithuania?

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.

He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.

The job was helping people with disabilities.

CALL NOW: Tell Senate Democrats to Hold the Line Against the Extreme MAGA Continuing Resolution

🚨🚨🚨 ALERT: we are hearing from sources that there is a very serious danger that Senate Democrats are on the verge of folding on the MAGA CR. CALL THIS MORNING indivisible.org/resource/cal...

There are those of us who do not have democrats as leaders at all. We know our calls will not be taken seriously, but we still call and write. You are a democrat and all you can do is announce a Substack?! Your constituents need more! We all need more! Do MORE!

That measure just passed, with all House Republicans except Massie and Arrington voting aye. House Republicans are preemptively surrendering Congress' authority to revoke Trump's tariffs. They know about the economic risks here, and they know exactly what they are doing. bsky.app/profile/did:...

@aoc.bsky.social: "Tax cuts cost money. We have to pay for them. So every dollar that you spend in federal taxes is going to pay for some rich person's G-Wagon. And it's also going to cut an 8-year-old kid with autism's ability to access Medicaid. That's what they are putting on the table."

Musk says DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials say that’s not true. USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone

I have an idea; If you go to a town hall for a Republican, have with you a list of all the votes (s)he cast for bills that hurt average Americans and ask why. Make copies, hand them out so others can be ready to challenge.

Banks, payday lenders, and credit card companies can now scam Americans with zero consequences because there is no longer a functioning agency to hold Wall Street accountable. This is a coup and your Members of Congress need to hear from you: indivisible.org/coup?source=...
